Story
Twenty-year-old Violet Sorrengail was supposed to enter the Scribe Quadrant, living a quiet life among books and history. Now, the commanding general—also known as her tough-as-talons mother—has ordered Violet to join the hundreds of candidates striving to become the elite of Navarre: dragon riders. But when you’re smaller than everyone else and your body is brittle, death is only a heartbeat away...because dragons don’t bond to “fragile” humans. They incinerate them. With fewer dragons willing to bond than cadets, most would kill Violet to better their own chances of success.

Story
Two years ago, Louise le Blanc fled her coven and took shelter in the city of Cesarine, forsaking all magic and living off whatever she could steal. There, witches like Lou are hunted. They are feared. And they are burned. As a huntsman of the Church, Reid Diggory has lived his life by one principle: Thou shalt not suffer a witch to live. But when Lou pulls a wicked stunt, the two are forced into an impossible situation - marriage. Lou, unable to ignore her growing feelings, yet powerless to change what she is, must make a choice. And love makes fools of us all.

It once seemed so easy to Prince Rhen, the heir to Emberfall. Cursed by a powerful enchantress to repeat the autumn of his 18th year over and over, he knew he could be saved if a girl fell for him. But that was before he learned that at the end of each autumn, he would turn into a vicious beast hell-bent on destruction. That was before he destroyed his castle, his family, and every last shred of hope.

Publisher's summary
"Both narrators add depth and resonance to Young's rich prose.... Those who enjoy epic fantasy novels should definitely give this a listen!" (AudioFile Magazine)
From Adrienne Young, New York Times best-selling author of Sky in the Deep, comes her new gut-wrenching epic The Girl the Sea Gave Back.
For as long as she can remember, Tova has lived among the Svell, the people who found her washed ashore as a child and use her for her gift as a Truthtongue. Her own home and clan are long-faded memories, but the sacred symbols and staves inked over every inch of her skin mark her as one who can cast the rune stones and see into the future. She has found a fragile place among those who fear her, but when two clans to the east bury their age-old blood feud and join together as one, her world is dangerously close to collapse.
For the first time in generations, the leaders of the Svell are divided. Should they maintain peace or go to war with the allied clans to protect their newfound power? And when their chieftain looks to Tova to cast the stones, she sets into motion a series of events that will not only change the landscape of the mainland forever but will give her something she believed she could never have again - a home.
"Gripping and exquisitely written. The Girl the Sea Gave Back tore at my heart strings until I was completely unraveled." (Stephanie Garber, New York Times best-selling author of Caravel)

It is 8th June AD 793, and with the pillage of the monastery on Lindisfarne, the Viking Age has begun. While his fellow monks flee before the Norse onslaught, one young novice stands his ground.

You define life or it defines you. In Shawn Speakman’s case, it was both. Lacking health insurance and diagnosed with Hodgkin’s lymphoma in 2011, Shawn quickly accrued a massive medical debt that he did not have the ability to pay. That’s when New York Times best-selling author Terry Brooks offered to donate a short story that Shawn could sell to help alleviate those bills—and suggested he ask the same of his other writer friends. Unfettered is the result: An anthology built in order to relieve that debt, featuring short stories by some of the best fantasy writers in the genre.

weary vs wary
I originally gave this book 2 stars. Few things bug me more than mispronounced words in an audiobook! ie pronouncing wary as weary. Also, this book is narrated by 2 people who seemed to have no communication/direction on how they were going to pronounce proper nouns and words that are unique to the text, such as the name of currency used in the story. Super annoying. I decided to returned it after a few chapters, thinking I would check the text book out from my library.
But I have a boring commute and went ahead and finished listening. I did enjoy the story very much. I like the author. I f you have some free credits, then I would suggest the series. BUT I would not pay for this audio. There are better choices out there. Changing my review to 3 stars.

Definitely worth reading (or listening to)
I LOVE the world in this book. The gods and the feuds, the battles and the runes, the marks and their meanings... all of it. This world is fantastic.
And Tova is freaking wonderful. Her view of herself and the blame she heaps on herself is heartbreaking, but it makes her completely relatable. And her mysterious past adds depth and intrigue.
Halvard was a welcome change from the cocky, reckless, hot-tempered male MCs that show up so often. He actually considers the responsibilities before him, and it's very refreshing.
Enemy to love isn't normally a thing I go for, nor is the whole fated thing, but it was done well.
I highly recommend this book.
Btw, I listened to the audiobook and loved the dual narration.

Good story but was hoping for more depth
I enjoyed this story but was hoping for more depth and background regarding the Gods they talked about. The ending seemed abrupt and unfinished. Overall, I enjoyed the characters and story line.

First half too long
Decent story line. The first half of the book felt very detailed and had great character build up. The second half felt very rushed. The story should’ve been broken into two books, a longer novel, or less details and character development in the first half. It made the book feel very off balance.
Also, since the second half was so rushed, the romance between the two main characters was very confusing to me. It felt like a romance from a cheesy movie: eyes meet, fall in love, the end.

It was okay
Maybe less than okay. I couldn't finish. While the narrators poured their hearts and souls into their performance, it felt too "whiney" for me.
I was irked by the storytelling. The author always seemed to pick up the story AFTER an important event or decision made by the clan elders. There was too much description when it came to physical/emotional discomfort, like the author was trying too hard.
I couldn't finish. Was disappointed. It could have been a good story.
